Gabriëlle Demedts
Gabriëlle Demedts (Wielsbeke, June 11, 1909 – Kortrijk, September 6, 2002) was a Flemish Belgian poet. She was a sibling of André Demedts. In 1934 she wrote her first poems and in 1937 she published her first work "Een gevangene zingt" (The prisoner sings). As a young child she was struck by Poliomyelitis which has determined the rest of her life.
In a book about the Declercq family, one can read that some of Demedts’ poems have been inspired by life-changing events in her life and that of the Declercqs.
She wrote, for instance, '’Rustig lied’' (quiet song) and '’Lage tonen'’ (low vibes) after a love break-up of her friend Valentine Declercq, or '’Zomer’' (Summer) when Valentine was severely ill and dying. Later, she also wrote a poem, '’Ik heb gedaan...'’ (I am done…), when Ernest Constant Declercq, Valentine’s father and a close friend of Gabrielle Demedts’ parents, had died.
